Actually I have seen friendly communities around Linux and free software.=20
Like the KDE project, the ck patchset mailing list community, the=20
TuxOnIce aka suspend2 community, the SGI XFS community, the Bazaar=20
community, quite some parts of the Debian community just to name a few.

So I know that it can be different. I know that its inaccurate to talk=20
about the whole Linux kernel community. I had quite friendly contacts=20
with core Linux developers like with Ingo (yes, with Ingo!;-) or Greg=20
Kroah-Hartman.

So what would be wrong with looking at how this worked out and why and how=
=20
it would be possible to avoid loosing a talented developer?
